Dawn Berry Posted April 19, 2005 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Hello all! I was just wondering how Carnival was on their fish entrees. I love to try anything with fish and really get excited about cruising because of the different types and ways they usually serve it. In my experience, RCCL is okay on their fish (better than Indiana), Princess has fabulous fish and Celebrity, well, they served the same white fish every night and called it something different - I even asked our waiter about it and all he could say was "no comment" - this was CELEBRITY - the one that everyone oohs and aahs over their food! - we were not impressed. I think the Princess overall has had the best food afloat (my opinion), but I haven't sailed Carnival in years, so I am just checking in. Thank You!

Cotton Posted April 19, 2005 #3 Share Posted April 19, 2005 The Chilean Sea Bass is fantastic. I didn't see on the above dinner menus, but I've also had Ahi Tuna and Speckled Trout as entrees, and they were both wonderful. (Maybe they were on the lunch menu?) When the menu says 'fresh fish', I always ask what kind.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr1634 Posted April 19, 2005 #4 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Just got back from Celebration this past Thurs. Did Grouper, Talapia and one other fish on this cruise. All were excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneysteve Posted April 19, 2005 #5 Share Posted April 19, 2005 We sailed Glory 3/26. I had fish almost every day and it was all good. Their salmon was so good even my very picky daughter ordered it and at about half of it. One tip: if you order the shrimp or prawns, ask for extra cocktail sauce. They only decorate the plate with a little dab of it, not enough to dip 4 shrimp if you are like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miclane001 Posted April 19, 2005 #6 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I'm not much of a seafood person, but on the Victory in 12/04 I had fish nearly every night for dinner and enjoyed everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Berry Posted April 20, 2005 Author #7 Share Posted April 20, 2005 AAAH, thank you! My mouth is watering right now! I am so excited to hear about the nice selection of fish! A lot of my friends think I am crazy, but it is one of the thinks I look foward to the most about Cruising cuisine! (well, that and the desserts!) My husband gets excited about all of the different soups! By day 2 or 3 the waiters usually will bring him a little bowl of each soup on the menu for him to taste! Yes, that "fresh fish" thing scares me a little, I always ask too :) Thanks again! Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuyaba Posted April 20, 2005 #8 Share Posted April 20, 2005 The fish entrees on the Victory last month were wonderful. They had grouper on 2 nights, different preparation, but cooked perfectly. I don't know how they cook it just right for so many people. I want it right now. I also found the fish on Celebrity poor. One fish I had on that cruise had a big rubbery vein of some kind running through it. Yuck. I found Carnivals food in general was better than on the Celebrity Constellation. I was plesantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halos Posted April 20, 2005 #10 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I was stunned at how good the fish was too....for a cruise ship??? Living here 6 miles from the sea, the fish I eat is hours old...so I don't usually expect excellence on a cruise ship, but the fish was pretty darn good.
